The Third Seat
“I had no idea he was still living with you.
He swore the divorce papers were already drafted.”
That was the truth of why I had come, and I want to be clear about it, because people assume the third seat was about revenge and it was not.
I had the photographs.
I had the report.
In a strict sense I did not need to board that plane at all; the case would have been just as strong if I had stayed home and let the papers do their work.
